AUSTIN — Oil industry execu
tives were unanimous Tuesday in
advising the federal government to
deregulate prices.
Executives from 23 oil and gas
companies and drilling associations,
including all the major oil com
panies, testified before the Railroad
Commission at Texas’ annual “state
of the industry” oil and gas meeting
at a local hotel.
“As a businessman, I don’t need
the government to tell me when I’m
charging too much,” Texaco Presi
dent John K. McKinley said. “The
consumer tells me that through his
purchasing decisions.
“I do need someone to tell me just
what government officials mean by
windfall profits, or obscure profits or
a just price.
“If the government chooses to tax
us (the oil industry) for so-called
windfall profits, will they then reim
burse us for windfall losses?” McKin
ley asked.
The president of Mobil Oil
Corp.’s U.S. Division, Allen E.
Murray, agreed that today’s energy
problems are caused by over-regu
lation.
“We can continue to rely on regu
lation to implement an energy policy
,or we can return to the free market
system, ” Murray said. “It’s clear that
regulation has failed.”
The Mobil executive, along with
others at the meeting, also blamed
fluctuating government energy
policies and an ever-increasing de
pendence on foreign oil for a worsen
ing energy shortage in the United
States.
Most warned that a crisis situation
could develop this year because of
the cutback in Iranian oil exports un
less strong conservation measures
are developed.
L. A. Ramsey, executive vice pres
ident of Gulf Oil Exploration and
Production Co., warned, “We could
begin to approach crisis conditions as
early as October of this year if sub
stantial Iranian supplies are not
available.
“If there is one lesson we, in the
United States, should have learned
by now, it is the lesson that serious
conservation does not occur without
the persuasive factor of higher
prices.”
Other executives gave recom
mendations for conservation and for
passing laws to encourage increased
production in the United States. But
the most pervasive recommendation
from the oil industry was clearly spo
ken by the executive vice president
of Exxon Co.
“One of the most effective actions
would be to eliminate the outmoded
federal government controls on
crude oil and petroleum products
that have been in place since 1971,”
Exxon’s F.C. Ackmar said.

BOSTON — The Massachusetts
House gave initial approval to a bill
that would require investigative
news reporters to register as private
detectives.
But Monday’s initial House ap
proval may prove to be the first step
in an effort to kill the measure, which
has been denounced as unconstitu
tional by at least two news media
associations.
The bill, already passed by the
Massachusetts Senate, requires cer
tain news reporters and photo
graphers to pay the state Depart
ment of Public Safety a $750 private
detective registration fee and to obey
laws regulating detectives’ conduct.
The measure would extend the
state’s definition of a private detec
tive to include reporters who do not
identify themselves as such while re
searching stories and photographers
who use cameras for surveillance of
subjects of such stories.
In voting its preliminary ac
ceptance, the House turned the bill
over to a committee responsible for
reviewing all legislation before final
action is scheduled in the House and
Rep. Philip Johnston, an opponent of
the bill, said, “... it will never come
out.
Johnson said the House leadership
determined that the bill could be
killed most effectively in the com
mittee, rather than in a vote on the
House floor.
“If you debate something like that
in this place, it might pass and this
governor might sign it — with re
lish,” he said.
Gov. Edward J. King’s relation
ship with the Statehouse press corps
has been tense ever since he
launched his campaign for the job
last year.
The bill was introduced by Sen.
Denis L. McKenna, who has filed
related legislation to require re
porters who cover the Legislature to
submit annual financial disclosure
statements to the secretary of state.
